^
First, loosely screw the door handle
onto the opposite side with the two
front screwsb.The mounting platecmust be
positioned on the door housing in such
a way that when the door isclosedthe
mounting plate is aligned with the
outside wall of the appliance.
If this alignment is off, you can correct it
by
^turning both of the pre-mounted set
screwsawith a wrench until the
mounting platecis at the correct
angle.

mounting plate, until it audibly
engages.
Make sure that the sidebarddoes
not come in contact with the door
seal when the door is opened. This
would damage the door seal over

If you see that the sidebar is coming
into contact with the door seal,
^
adjust the mounting platecagain

The appliance can be installed in any
fitted kitchen. To match the appliance
to the height of the fitted kitchen, a
suitable adapter cabinetacan be
installed over the appliance.
A ventilation gap of at least 2 inches
(50 mm) must be provided between the
adapter cabinet and the kitchen wall.
The ventilation cross-section below the
room ceiling must be at least 46 in
2
(300 cm2) so that warm air can escape
without obstruction. Otherwise the
appliance has to work harder, which
results in increased energy
consumption.
The ventilation cross-sections must
not be blocked or covered in any
way.
They also need to be
dusted/cleaned on a regular basis.
If installing with standard kitchen
cabinets (max. depth 580 mm), the
appliance can be set up directly next to
the kitchen cabinet. In that case the
side of the appliance door would
project 34 mm and the middle of the
appliance 55 mm beyond the front of
the kitchen cabinet. This allows the
appliance door to open and close
properly.
If the appliance is installednext to a
walld, a gap of at least 55 mm is
needed on the hinge side between the
walldand the applianceb. This
allows space for the handle when the
door is open.
